Re: GNUstep app fails on Ubuntu 16

[Andreas Höschler]

Hi Svetlana,

How did you install Ubuntu 16? I think there may be people who are interested in replicating this issue on their computers.

• Installation from ubuntu-16.04.6-server-amd64.iso (https://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/)

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

ufw allow ssh

ufw enable

apt install xfce4 lightdm wmaker

dpkg-reconfigure lightdm

The problem with LightDM in Ubuntu repository is that it’s configured for Unity, the old default Ubuntu desktop environment. So, now, let’s config LightDM for Xfce.

rm /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-unity-greeter.conf

pico /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-xfce-greeter.conf

[SeatDefaults]

greeter-session=unity-greeter

user-session=xfce

reboot 

And for installing GNUstep:

apt-get install --yes  build-essential

apt-get install --yes  libffi6 libffi-dev

apt-get install --yes libxml2 libxml2-dev

apt-get install --yes libxslt-dev

apt-get install --yes libgnutls-dev

apt-get install --yes libtiff-dev

apt-get install --yes libxt-dev

apt-get install libssl-dev

apt-get install gdb

apt-get install --yes  gobjc

apt-get install iputils-ping

apt-get install ufw
